Microneedling in Alton, IL

Medically reviewed by Kaycee Eyers, APRN, Illinois-licensed · Updated October 2026

Microneedling triggers your skin's own repair process to improve tone, texture, fine lines, and scarring. Sessions are $250, or three for $700, performed by a licensed provider, and can be enhanced with PRP drawn from your own blood for an added regenerative boost.

How microneedling works

A device with fine, sterile needles creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. Those tiny injuries signal the body to produce new collagen and elastin, and over the following weeks the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone. It is sometimes called collagen induction therapy for exactly that reason. The channels also let topical products, including the peptides we use, absorb far more effectively.

What microneedling treats

Microneedling is one of the most versatile treatments we offer. Patients come to us for acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven texture, fine lines, sun damage and discoloration, and general dullness. It works on all skin tones and is a strong option for patients who want visible improvement without lasers or injectables.

Microneedling with PRP

PRP, platelet-rich plasma, is drawn from a small sample of your own blood, concentrated, and applied during treatment. The growth factors in PRP amplify the healing and collagen response, which is why many patients choose it for scarring or when they want the strongest possible result from each session. Ask about adding PRP at your consultation.

Pricing and how many sessions

Microneedling is $250 per session, or three sessions for $700. Most skin goals respond best to a series, typically three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart, which is why the three-session package exists. Your provider recommends a plan at your first visit. Our microneedling guide goes deeper on what to expect from a full series.

What to expect

Numbing cream goes on first, so most patients feel only light pressure or a mild scratching sensation. A session takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Expect redness like a mild sunburn for one to two days, then a few days of light flaking as the skin renews. Avoid makeup for 24 hours, use gentle products and sunscreen, and skip heavy workouts and sun exposure for a couple of days. Treatments are performed by our licensed providers.
